We scare ourselves with our own ideas, projecting our fears onto the unknown.

My Thoughts

We like to say that what people fear is the unknown. The truth is, it's what we imagine that unknown could be, might be, waiting for us in the dark, down the road, in the future - that really scares us. We scare ourselves with our own ideas, projecting our fears onto the unknown. We invent ways to be terrified, and consequently, we are terrified. We look for something we know will frighten us.

Action for the Week

Today, let me focus on the good I know, rather than the bad I think I know.
